Ludo 40
Forty squares, no safe spots
Ludo 40 is the race game families from Turkey to Poland grew up with — Kızma Birader, Chińczyk, Nu te supăra, frate: a short 40-square track, four pawns each and not a single safe square. A 6 brings a pawn out, every rival you land on goes back to the yard, and the first player with four pawns in the goal wins.
